Unicode Version 17.0
U+10A32 "𐨲" Kharoshthi Letter Kka is a specific letter from the Kharoshthi script, an ancient abugida used primarily in the Gandhara region of present-day Pakistan and Afghanistan from around the 3rd century BCE to the 3rd century CE for writing Gandhari Prakrit and some Sanskrit texts. This character represents the consonant sound "kka," which is a geminate or doubled form of the letter "ka," and it is part of a larger set of characters that were employed in inscriptions, coins, and Buddhist manuscripts such as the Gandhāran Buddhist texts. The Kharoshthi script is written from right to left, and this letter, like others in the script, reflects the phonetic and phonological features of the languages it recorded, offering valuable insights into the historical development of Indic writing systems.
